Participants should be in a position where they are seeking to have an impact on the success and development of the organizations in which they are members.

Employee Relations: Principles & Practice – building a developed understanding of the role and contributions of employee relations for experienced participants
Leading in the Workplace – developing skills and capabilities for influencing others in the workplace
Work-Based Partnership Project – to draw learning together from modules 1 and 2 and apply learning to the participants’ workplaces to demonstrate actionable impact of learning on employment.
Participants will attend six 2-day residential sessions over one year led by a combination of academic faculty and practitioner experts, with distance learning and guided independent study in-between.
Diploma in Employee Relations
This stage follows on after the certificate, and aims to develop skills and knowledge in the area of employee relations and the employment relationship and enhance participants’ own learning and organizational contributions now and in the future. It is aimed at experienced practitioners in leadership positions who wish to reflect on their role and contribution. Those most likely to benefit include anyone taking, or seeking to take a leading role in setting the direction and future for their organizations. It will be delivered through action learning, with a group of 6 to 12 participants meeting six times over the course of a year for a series of 2-day residential sessions, with each session focusing on a specific topic/theme. Participants will also complete a Personal Development Plan and undertake a programme of study in research methods in preparation for the Masters stage of study.
Masters in Employee Relations
This final stage aims to draw together learning from the certificate and diploma programmes, apply learning to the participants’ workplaces and to demonstrate actionable impact of learning on employment. Participants will complete an independent work-study project; an individual action research project applying learning from the programme to an issue in their own organization.
